Related Party
The Company had 
two
separate outstanding promissory notes with First Francis Company Inc. (“First Francis”), which were originally issued in
July 2016
in connection with the acquisition of Federal Hose Manufacturing (“Federal Hose”) and which were amended in
July 2018
in connection with acquisition of CAD. The
first
promissory note was issued with original principal in the amount of
$2,000,000,
and the
second
was issued with original principal in the amount of
$2,768,662.
The promissory notes each had an interest rate of
6.25%
per annum, which was increased from
4.0%
per annum as part of the
July 2018
amendments to the Credit Agreement.
 
In connection with the Komtek Forge acquisition, on
January 15, 2021,
the Company refinanced the outstanding First Francis promissory notes in the aggregate amount of
$2,077,384,
including accrued interest payable through the refinance date and combined this amount with an existing First Francis promissory note carried by Komtek Forge in the amount of
$1,702,400
into
one
note for a combined
$3,779,784
loan due to First Francis Company, payable in quarterly installments beginning
April 15, 2021.
The interest rate on the refinanced loan remained at
6.25%
per annum. First Francis is owned by Matthew Crawford, who serves on the Board of Directors of the Company, and Edward Crawford, who served on the Board of Directors of the Company until
June 17, 2019
and who has been nominated for election to the Board of Directors in
2021.
  
 
Notes Payable
Seller Note
Effective
July 1, 2018,
the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of CAD.  Upon the closing of the transaction, the CAD shares were transferred and assigned to the Company in consideration of the payment by the Company of an aggregate purchase price of
$21
million,
$12
million of which was payable in cash at closing, with the remainder paid in the form of a subordinated promissory note issued by the Company in favor of a Seller (the “Seller Note”), which is subject to certain post-closing adjustments based on working capital, indebtedness and selling expenses, as specified in the Share Purchase Agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition (the “Share Purchase Agreement”).   The Seller Note bears interest at a rate of
four
percent (
4%
) per annum and is payable in full
no
later than
June 30, 2023 (
the “Maturity Date”).  The Maturity Date, with respect to any then-outstanding portion of the original principal amount which is subject to an indemnification claim by the Company (asserted in accordance with the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement) pending as of the date thereof, will be automatically extended until such time as any claim relating to such disputed amount is
no
longer pending, pursuant to the terms of the Seller Note and subject to additional conditions set forth therein and in the Share Purchase Agreement. The Company is
not
permitted to prepay any amounts due and owing under the Seller Note.  Payment of the Seller Note is secured by a
second
-priority security interest in the assets of CAD.   Interest accrued on the original principal amount is due and payable in arrears on the
first
day of each calendar quarter up to and including
June 30, 2023. 
The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments, the amount of which is calculated based on a
four
(
4
) year amortization schedule, on the last day of each calendar quarter up to and including the Maturity Date. The holders of the Seller Note and the Company agreed to defer the quarterly principal payment due
June 30, 2020
until
June 30, 2023;
quarterly interest was paid on the Seller Note.

$3,679,383
(the “PPP Loan”) on
April 10, 2020

May 5, 2020,
the Company instructed JPMorgan to repay in full the Promissory Note pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act. On
